NOTES: ^These bowls reported the number of tickets
sold rather than turnstile attendance. Tickets for the
Aloha and Oahu Bowls, played in Aloha Stadium, were good for
both games. The Orange Bowl was played this year in the
Orange Bowl, capacity 72,319. It was played last year in
Pro Player Stadium, capacity 72,000. This was the inaugural
year for the Oahu Bowl and the Music City Bowl. The
capacity of Sun Devil Stadium is 73,471, but roughly 3,000
temporary seats were added this year for the Fiesta Bowl.
'97 attendance figures for Carquest Bowl (THE DAILY).
